in someone to take pope benedict's place. you know, in my mind, we watched pope john paul become a grandfather. pope benedict walked out on the world stage as a grandfather. and was just an interesting different experience of his fatherly qualities, as you know from having met him, you know the gentle kind way that he had. but, you know, i think that depends on what the college of cardinals is looking for. you know, pope benedict was a teacher. and he spent his pontiffate, his papacy, teaching. he taught well and with great clarity. so it's a matter of preference of the college of cardinals and also, as we believe in the church, the working of the holy spirit. >> we'll stay in very close touch with you, bishop, thank you so much. thanks for everything that you've done. thanks for inviting me to catholic university, once between. i really appreciate it. and thanks for coming here to "the situation room." >> it's great to be with you, wolf, you take care, god bless. >> god bless you as well. we're going to continue our coverage
